Dinwiddie, a 6-6 point guard, didn't play after tear up his right knee on Jan. 12. He finished his junior season averaging a team-high 14.7 points in 17 games.

Early NBA draft projections had Dinwiddie a possible late first-round selection. However, he likely won't be ready for full basketball work until late summer at the earliest.

The Buffs were a Top 25 team when Dinwiddie's knee buckled that Sunday night against Washington.

As his surgery rehab progresses, Dinwiddie hasn't been able to show his talents to scouts. That likely scotches any chance he has at being drafted. The Denver Post noted in March that he entered the Buffaloes season needing to make improvements. His size and marketable skills won't be enough without being healthy.
